We get a minimal raise which doesn't even keep up with inflation while XJT takes concessions. The timing of it was probably planned in a way to keep the pilot groups fighting. Management loves it when the pilots hate each other. It diverts attention away from them.
By the looks of some of the posts on this forum they got exactly what they wanted. Everyone is jumping aboard the Skywest pilot hate train.
